Hey Lupe I love the poem 100 percent my brother, and I understand occupying wall street but why are we not going to the source, the most corrupted place in America: Washington D.C... Why dont we organize a 160 million the 99 percent march on the capital? I am a veteran and I understand where the people are coming from because I have been on both sides of the fence. I dont know if you read these comments but the next time you are in L.A if god so bless I want to make it my business to sit down and hold a convo with you to pick your brain. We as a people need to understand that until we get on one accord and become active they(the politicians) will keep just saying what we want to hear and wont be held accountable for their actions towards not just the American people, but the world. Thanks and keep speaking out Peace and Lasers...

Hey Lupe nice piece of prose. I wonder if it will be deemed "culturally significant" one day.
But seriously, how about you stop being a hypocritical asshole and give some of your money out to the people who need it, or just those "occupying" Wall Street in general? I really could use some dough to help pay off my student loans, you know. But since I know you're just as much of a greedy fuck as those at the top of the banking industry you won't spare a fucking cent. If anything, you are worse since you pretend like you're a "progressive" who cares about social issues (maybe in your self-righteous mind you actually believe that you do, in fact, care). I can't say I blame you, dude. I wouldn't share any of my money either. Hell, i'd even take a bailout if the Federal Reserve forced me to. Then again, I probably wouldn't be able to pay to lent money back the way the major banks did.
P.S. What are Occupy Wall Street's goals anyway? Just seems to me like a bunch of smelly assholes running around and dancing to music on the street.

I love it. I am protesting each and everyday trying to open up the minds the local youth and other individulas who are blinded by the grabage that they have been feeding us for years. Its amazing what happens when you actually open your eyes and the power of knowledge you possess can no longer contain. Keep it up.

Lupe you rock! You've picked your battle with poetic words reaching millions and waking them up. Thank you!

I really appreciate your music, you have awoken the minds of so many people through your lyrics and I thank you. I am glad you are supporting this event and through your post, motivating the people to attend. As an activist and follower of your music, this truly defies you as a true advocate for social justice. Cannot wait to have you in Raleigh on Sunday. Peace to you.
